According to data from the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), as of April 27, 2022, 94.32% of adolescents aged 12-17 years had received their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Furthermore, 80.96% had received their second dose, and only 1.45% had received their third dose or booster.

Meanwhile, for children aged 6-11 years, the first dose vaccination coverage reached 77.96%. The second dose Covid-19 vaccination coverage was lower, at 62.56%, and the third dose reached only 0.01%.

The Ministry of Health encourages active parental participation in bringing their children for Covid-19 vaccination, so that children are protected from transmission and the fatal risks of coronavirus infection.

The government will focus the use of the Sinovac vaccine only for children aged 6 to 11 years. Outside of that age range, children aged 12 and above can use other vaccine options, such as Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, or Johnson & Johnson.
